There is no war between Russia and Ukraine. Why is everyone calling it a war? Russia is invading Ukraine and the fighting would end the moment Russia stops the invasion, that is not a war between nations, that is an unprovoked agression by Russia. Call it for what it is.

It’s a terrible bill. It will literally kill people. The most vulnerable among us will suffer as the wealthiest benefit. It’s perverse. I wish there were something I could do. But alas, I am only a U.S. Senator from Alaska whose “no” vote would kill the bill. So I voted yes. You get it.
